Suspected a few things
Purchased IZFR6K11 this time around but the plugs were IZFR6K11-NS, so could have been wrong from the get go.
I had a long term vacuum leak from the brake booster, thinking...

Had to swap out the brake booster after discovered a leak. $800 later. It's a lot better now

Hello All,

Long time no reply, ended up getting to the bottom of this issue. It was the first thing expected but the last thing checked. Sparkplugs. They were only ~18K and 2 years old but the...

Will do thx!

HAHA thanks! You saved me getting my tools out to take off a part that doesn't exist... though that's annoying as everything else has already had a good clean but something must be up around that as...

Thanks yeah... I was thinking that actually..... I checked all the coils and they appeared fine. I've had a dud coil before after going through a storm and flooded highway... it sounded like a...

The Km's are ~136k and probably been on-going for 10K or so. It comes and goes, so have not been actively working on a fix.
Only appeared to start after a long idle one day, next step may be the IAC...

Completed the following:
Replaced Brake booster
Fuel filter
Service + filters
Upper engine cleaner + TB clean

After all this the car went good for a day or so and then went back to normal idle...

The battery is only 8 months old (nrma) and the alternator is about 4 years old. Though, it’s an aftermarket one.

Haven’t really had any issues with the charging system. Can’t load test it at the...

It seems like a random misfire but none detected on computer when scanning.

Physically visually inspected spark plugs and coils. Didn’t check spark plug gap (only 10k 1.5 years old).

The only...

Hello,

Have a 06 euro auto (130k kms). I noticed yesterday that the idle of the car was off. It was normal then at random intervals it seems to miss a beat (can see tacho dial drops slightly and...

Great, thanks for that. I'll buy the BBA400!

Hello,

I just purchased two replacement bosch aerotwins BBA650 and BBA450. When I filled the BBA650 it's perfect but the BBA450 appears to be too long and hitting the outside seal of the window.
...

Thanks for this post, it actually confirmed with great detail something I was already thinking.

Yes, well this was the dealership who replaced it (it died within 3 months of buying the car 2nd hand). I believe they used the OEX one (DXA561 is written on it). So nothing much I can do, was glad...

My battery died ~6 months after that, replaced it. The car still does the ding and flash the lights up. Never had any actual issues related to it that I can tell in 2 years of owning it *knock on...

I think Honda is ~200 mark also, jump on ebay or go to the wreckers? Mekong Auto Spares if your in Sydney.

Most places will have to order them in (1-2 day turn around).

Have you worked out which cylinder has the problem?
Tried to swap the spark plugs with known good ones?

I had 1 coil go on me randomly while driving to work, the only thing I could think of is...

Yeah I did take the car back for an unrelated thing and they said the brakes are fine and they had a few other euro's there so no reason not to believe them. Also in the few months or so since I got...

Was issue with unit, replacement fixed it and now goes into cd-c mode

Mine was replaced and this fixed the issue.

I haven't adjusted anything as I'm going to take it back to the mechanic on the weekend, I didn't want to start to play around with things between when they last touched the car so they don't say...

I live in Sydney.

Nothing else has been replaced, pads are in good condition. Disc's appear to be fine, a bit of a lip so could probably do with an update.

Yea, I understand the flex but I...

Hmmm, yea I think I will take it back to get re-bled and have them to have a look at it. It might even just be adjustment that grifty mentioned before.

My pads and disc have plenty of meat (not...

Yeah that's what I would be expecting. I just checked a review of the euro and I found the following:

The brakes are excellent (300mm discs front, 260mm discs rear), with good pedal feel and...
